success in their chosen majors. Thisdecision was also a result of the authors’ interest on SVS literature and the successful experienceof offering a pilot face-to-face (FTF) training on campus to improve SVS for 6 talented, low-income students in an NSF S-STEM scholarship program in Spring ’14. Previous studies in theSVS subject [1], [2], [3] report that well-developed SVS lead to students’ success in Engineeringand Technology, Computer Science, Chemistry, Computer Aided Design and Mathematics.Bairaktarova et al. [4] mention that aptitude in spatial skills is gradually becoming a standardassessment of an individual’s likelihood to succeed as an engineer.Support from industry provided the funds needed to acquire training materials created by Sorby

This effort is ongoing and aims to produce data that can help the educationalcommunity better understand these transitions, especially as they pertain to Pell-grant-eligible,transfer engineering students.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to acknowledge the support from the National Science FoundationScholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) program.Additionally, we have a strong team leading a wide range of efforts through EMPOWER.
